Natalie's Score: 89/100

A lovely BC white wine made from Pinot Gris grapes. Aromas of white melon, Asian pear, floral fruit and cantalope. Grapes come from the winery's upper CedarCreek Vineyard. They're picked when black bears start making their way through the estate's "bear-proof" fence, as the bears seem to enjoy the same level of sweetness and ripeness that winemaker Darryl Brooker does, though their food pairings differ. About 13% of this wine is barrel fermented. Pair with fresh halibut and light seafood dishes.

Pinot Gris food pairings: steamed Salt Spring Island mussels.

Reviews and Ratings

In our upper CedarCreek Vineyard, nature helps us select just the right moment to harvest the Pinot Gris. Over the years, we’ve noticed that black bears enjoy the same level of ripeness of flavour as we do. When they start making their way under our “bear-proof” fence, we know it’s time to start picking. Very carefully. All our winemaking decisions get the same attention to detail as the Pinot Gris does. And the results show in every bottle. On that, you have our word.
